Just as an aside, irrelevant to the whole /etc/rc discussion: does
this mean that the security/sudo port should keep its tty tickets
in /var/db/sudo, not /var/run/sudo as it currently does?  Or are those
also meant to expire at shutdown?

Moved to -ports, CC'd to Michael Haro as the sudo port maintainer.

G'luck,
